Nervous System

2. Curved brain structure involved in memory formation and spatial navigation.
5. Neuron with one axon and multiple dendrites for integrating information.
8. Central part of a neuron containing the nucleus and most organelles.
11. Bundle of axons transmitting electrical signals between the brain, spinal cord, and other body parts.
13. Long projection of a neuron that transmits electrical impulses to other cells.
14. Supportive cells in the nervous system providing structural and metabolic support to neurons.
16. Fluid-filled cavities within the brain that produce and contain a nourishing fluid.
17. Region below the thalamus involved in regulating movements produced by skeletal muscles.
18. Passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration.
20. Tough, outermost layer of the protective membranes surrounding the central nervous system.

1. Brain area primarily responsible for visual processing, located at the back of the head.
3. Network of cells in the brain's cavities that produces cerebrospinal fluid.
4. Brain region responsible for processing sensory information like touch and temperature.
6. Neuron type with a single process extending from the cell body.
7. Protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.
9. Branch-like extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other nerve cells.
10. Glial cells in the peripheral nervous system that produce the myelin sheath around axons.
12. Clear fluid found in the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and nutrients.
15. Brain structure acting as a relay station for sensory and motor signals to the cortex.
19. Neuron characterized by two processes: one axon and one dendrite.
